Abstract
As medicine is moving toward performance and outcome-based payment and is transitioning away from productivity-based systems, value is now being appraised in healthcare through "performance measures." Over the past few decades, assessment of clinical performance in health care has been essential in ensuring safe and cost-effective patient care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is further driving this change with measurable, outcomes-based national payer incentive payment systems. With the continually evolving requirements in health care reform focused on value-based care, there is a growing concern that clinicians, particularly dermatologists, may not understand the scientific rationale of health care quality measurement. As such, in order to help dermatologists understand the health care measurement science landscape to empower them to engage in the performance measure development and implementation process, the first article in this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the value equation, historic and evolving policy issues, and the American Academy of Dermatology's approach to performance measurement development to provide the required foundational knowledge for performance measure developers.
